| Are KT88 Gold Lions Amp Tubes dependable I found the set bought from Jin Mc Shane very reliable. 3 yrs running without any problems. They are warm, have big bass but they lack the ultimate clarity and resolution of the GE 65550s. | |
| Amp: Can I mix tubes from different manufacturers? Jedinite24: many thanks for your suggestion regarding the need for identical combinations for each side. I'll do that and report the results. I have a lot of kt88/6550 tubes in stock and do not want to spend any more on tubes. Selling the 3 KR tub... | |
| How to test balance between right and left channel Thanks for your replies. Bfr/Rrog, you may be absolutely correct. My dedicated audio room has a sloping roof - 8ft high on one side and up to 20 ft on the other. But before I tackle this problem, I need to be sure that the slight imbalance I am ge... | |
| Porter Ports or Cabledyne Cryo Hubbell 5362 Hdm, thanks for your suggestions regarding moving up to the Oyaide/Furutech outlets. During my shootout, I found out that almost each and every piece of equipment/cable/outlet etc. imparts its own character/flavour to the final music i was hearing... | |

| Lamm LL2.1 Deluxe "DC Offset"? I think in such cases, action from those who pocketed the money for the new gear should speak louder than words. Why can't LAMM arrange delivery through his dealer of another pre to Gr-gin, and take back the "unsatisfactory" unit from the customer... | |
| Lamm LL2.1 Deluxe "DC Offset"? Am very very surprised by LAMM's lack of effective response to resolve the issue. And this, coming from such a reputable company, can only augur bad things for the company. I was seriously considering buying a Lamm pre but after reading this, no w... | |
| can u cut longer interconnects and reterminate? Hello Extravaganza, thanks for the info. Where did you buy this solder? A website link would be appreciated. Thanks. | |
| Porter Ports or Cabledyne Cryo Hubbell 5362 Yes, I hope so. It will take some time as the receptacles have to be well burnt in to enable a decent comparison with my existing outlets. | |
| can u cut longer interconnects and reterminate? The first meter is always going to be much more expensive because they contain the connectors. Just to give you an example, a quad set of WBT Nextgen RCA plug costs anything between $160 to 300! | |
